Funky Red Dog

Monday, July 20th, 2009

Funky Red Dog has established himself as the number one dog loving street artist. His iconic Dalmatian piece has found it’s way onto walls around the world and doesn’t look to be slowing. His work can be found in California, New York, Belfast, Rome, Australia, London… the list goes on.

Funky Red Dog, currently residing in Brighton, seems to be able to take his hand to any form of street art and turn it into a resounding success. He’s found success with stencils, prints and paste-ups to name but a few.

Pahnl Interview

Sunday, July 19th, 2009

I’m not ashamed to admit that I frequent Pahnl’s flickr photostream, updating myself on what his characters have been getting themselves into! If its not dogs chasing bones, then its men buffing out art. The UK based street artist has firmly established himself into the scene, amongst the larger characters, with his rather minute characters. Popping up in well thought out locations on the street, making their mark with simple actions and expressions.

Check out the interview with the artist himself below.

Lints: Paste-up King

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

3720242830_c36abfffcd_mLints is a street artist who loves to use paste-ups. These flimsy pieces of paper are pasted onto walls and have a surprising ability to stand the test of time. Lints has also been experimenting with good ol’ fashion paint and stickers recently too – which have produced some outstanding results. Lints has proved, time and time again, that his work – made up of polygonal creatures – looks fantastic anywhere.

This year, Lints has spent time in some great cities: London, Dublin and Germany. With the most recent spell in London. The image to the right was placed in London just earlier this week towards the end of Mr Lints time in London. His strange creatures are not only thought provoking (e.g. what the hell is it??) but also strangely friendly despite looking a little sinister and confronting.

Before we go straight to the meaty pictures, I’d just like to give you a heads up about Lints blog which covers a lot of Lints street art ventures.

Below are a collection of images that show Lints recent work in a variety of cities taken from his flickr page.

Gemma Compton: Animal Girl

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

3202614192_9c75cf4229Gemma Compton is a Cotswold born artist who currently resides in London. She’s a young talented artist who’s been breaking through into the art scene. She recently displayed her art at the Bristol Upfest ‘09 event.

Compton’s work is primarily painted with the use of stencils and almost always, contains some reference to animals; from birds and rabbits to cats and dogs. Animals are clearly a large influence in her life for them to be shown so prominently in her work. Gemma has previous worked also with paste ups to produce outstanding results.

Not only does Gemma create fantastic work on the street, canvas and in galleries, but she’s also very talented with a pencil (as can be seen in the image below, if a little scary).

ABOVE on the Berlin Wall

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

above1It’s been 20 years since the Berlin Wall was toppled and Germany was reunited as one. As ABOVE makes his way on his tour around Europe, he has made time to visit the Berlin Wall and do what he does best – paint ironic phrases and words using his trusted stencils onto walls.

ABOVE says of the pieces:
I am very proud of the street works accomplished in Berlin and I think its my largest word/play and perhaps my strongest imagery and stencil done on the Berlin wall.

Enjoy the symbolism, irony, and gesture of unity from the extending arm reaching through the hole in the wall offering flowers to the other side “Bridging The Divide” between the East and West side of Berlin.

Like all of ABOVE’s best work, he has accompanied it with a video.
